Summary
In this episode of The Imago Leadership Podcast, we explore the often‑misunderstood terrain of power and how it quietly shapes our relationships, teams, and communities. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation, and our own lived experiences, we examine the difference between the world’s fear‑driven “power‑over” patterns and the generative, life‑giving power Jesus models. We reflect on how our words reveal the kingdom we’re living from, how fear distorts our use of influence, and how wisdom from above reshapes the way we speak, lead, and relate to others.
Together, we look at biblical stories like Moses and Paul to see how God forms leaders who steward power with humility, courage, and love. We consider how our speech becomes a kind of liturgy that either cultivates flourishing or reinforces fear. Ultimately, this episode invites us to embrace the surprising blessing of being “poor in spirit,” discovering a kind of power that multiplies life rather than consuming it, and learning to lead in ways that reflect the creative, abundant heart of God.
